Eucalyptus is a natural flea repellant. Go buy a whole bunch and it around the house including under the bed. It’s decorative so you can put it in a vase. Also, cedar chips that you can buy in a pet store (for gerbils or hamsters) is another repellant. Fill up some old socks with the cedar chips and put them all over the house. Call you vet and get your cat a flea dip and FrontLine Advantage. Do not use Hartz flea spray as it is harmful to pets. When I first got my dog, he was infested with fleas so we sprayed him with it. It irritated his skin so we put him in a warm bath with baby shampoo. Vet said we probably saved his life. I’m not sure they even still sell that Hartz product.

Boric acid is supposed to be good too. Poor along your door sills.

They DO still sell the Hartz flea powder for cats. Thank GOD, that I googled it prior to using it. So many people lost they furbabies, due to this product. I am home today and am preparing to rip up some carpet, take my bed apart and bomb my b/r. I have 4 kittys and 4 pups. They all have flea collars on them for the last 2 days. I was advised, to do that, go to the pet store to get nail caps (just like humans put fake nails on),so I can bathe these two kittens without getting torn apart. Was told after bombing, bathing and flea collars, the fleas will go away, because they wont have no where to feed off of.... It’s going to be a long day. I’m also going to try that light w/soap water also, at this point I’ll try anything. Tho I think the 2 ferral kitties are the culprits, I will not get rid of anyone. I am sure I will get this done!!!!! (or kill my self trying)
